What the gently caress? I put in disk 1 and install it (I don't see any option for installing disk 2 like my manual says), then I put in disk 2 and I try to play it and it tells me to insert disk 1. What the hell did I do wrong?

Installing disk 2 is literally an option on the main menu until you install it.

Cojawfee: May 31, 2006; I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius

After all the hubbub about there being no more LCEs left anywhere, I checked at the BX after getting my flu shot, only regular editions. I checked walmart after work, nothing. Check out best Buy, two copies of the LCE there, so I snatch one up and am installing now. The one in the mail is probably just going in the closet.

Thanks, I just saw that too. I figured when it said main menu it was talking about the xbox dashboard.

I made a club since apparently no one in IRC knows of any. :siren:

The club tag is LLJK :siren:

You can search for it in the club menu.

So I immediately redeemed all my codes and downloaded all the DLC. But in the dealership the new blue M5 is still DLC.

Is this normal?

EDIT: I have a LCE.

Highest Cactus: Jul 25, 2007; News: Mysterious illegal cookies seized. "Tastes terrible," says police.

Went to grab a copy of the LE from gamestop with no preorder, and they didnt have any left for non-preorders. Best Buy across the street still had 3 on the shelf though, so no big deal. There is still hope for you guys looking for an LE.

I thought it was odd since the car is on the cover but not on the disc. Crazy.

Not to try and turn this into a "please post X screenshot" thread, but uh. Is there some reason not a goddamn one of you has posted a matte black Camaro yet? Huh? :colbert:

So good first impressions from people? Its frustrating having to wait till friday, but I suppose thats the first chance I'll get to play it anyway even if I had it right now.

Can't wait to see some of the crazy times people are gonna get in the Top Gear Nurburgring challenge. Definitely my favorite of all the Rivals so far it's too crazy.

webmeister: Jan 31, 2007; The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Can anyone with the game confirm whether you need a Gold Live subscription to access rivals mode?

I wont have the game till tomorrow but im going to assume that yes you do. Forza 3 wouldnt even upload your laptimes to the leaderboard if you only had silver.

mangler103: Jun 6, 2003; Metroid sighting huh? Well, I did just pour this coffee...it will still be there tomorrow.

I'd love a club invite of some kind. I'm not picky. Not great, but I can hold my own in anything under s class. Ill be playing a ton over the next month, Gt: mangler103

Also, is there a post somewhere explaining how the turn and pass ratings work? Is it based on racing line alone or is it a mixture of racing line speed and control? I quickly got the achievements for 'perfect' turns and passes, but i didn't know how they worked.

And are those the only thing calculated in the race feats bonus at the end of a race or are there other factors?

You've made it to level 20 in how many hours played?

How much money have you earned in the game so far? Does it seem like you'll need to grind for cash like in GT5?

Speaking of the Best Buy preorder 1M, I just got off the phone with them and they said that the sending of the code doesn't trigger until you pick up your copy at which point it'll be another 24-48h till you get the email with the code. God only knows why they didn't tell anyone that bought it since a lot of us have been pretty confused.

I thought the GTCC was the spreadsheet car club.

Though you can join multiple car clubs, so this is not an issue

Ok, so I just got home with my Best Buy LCE, and I input the 3 DLC codes, and the first 2 downloaded normally, the 3rd one (the "Limited Edition DLC Content") code, gave me the option to download, but it didn't get added to my download queue. I tried re-entering the code, and it says it's been used. What exactly is it, as I can't even find it on the Forza 4 downloads menu.

I'm so confused, so much content, so little brain cells after work. Also, my friend got his Best Buy DLC code in like 10 minutes after picking it up.

edit- So it's the American Muscle Pack? Which still shows as 560 points on the list.

It's the same data as the launch day pack. it will unlock the poo poo in game, but it only downloads the data once.

I'm still looking for an answer to my earlier question about the AI:

quote:

the last assists I still use ("Normal" steering, manual w/o clutch)
On a similar note is there no longer an option to set AI difficulty? What's the deal with AI this time around anyway?

Another question I have is since I got the American Muscle DLC as Launch Bonus but bought the season pass and essentially double bought that content, wasn't I supposed to receive some in-game credits or something?
